HURRAH FOR HIaHMoRE.

They have struck water ct Highmore.
The Herald extra. announcing this fact
with hallelujahs and profusion of cuts,
lies before us. Promptly on receiving the
news, Mr.. Fearheiley. chairman Of the
Miller town council, telegraphed cengrat-
ulations on behalf of the Miller citizens.
On Monday PRESS reporter visited High
more and its splendid new artesian well
and from Mr.. Walker, foreman of the well
gang Of Gray Bros. better known as Scotty,
he Cleaned the following particulars. After
completing the Miller well in the latter
part Of July, they moved to Highmore and
commenced digging there about August 1.
After going beyond the depth they ex-
peotsd to strike water, based on the Miller
well, the funds became exhausted and the
people of the town discouraged. Arrange
.ments were made for more funds and the
drilling was kept mp. After time Gray
Bros. thought it useless togo farther and
endeavorsd to prove 1t to the town author
tiles. They would not be so persuaded
however and the digging was kept up I'm
til Saturday night last. when depth Of
$40 feet had been reached. town
meeting was called at which 1t was agreed
the arteSian well project was failure and
should be abandoned. Sunday msrning
Frank Drew and Eli Johnson, the Herald
man, were strolling near the well building
and discovered water flowing away at .
marvellously copious rate. In short, dur
ing the night the well lad broken loose
and when the news Was spread, many were
at divine service and there ths hardened
sinner and the elder Joined in shouts Of
hossanas over what they reasonably
thought was kindly inteipesition of Prov
idsuce. Tie wster is 10 degrees tempera-
ture, 10 degrees colder than the Miller well
and while it flows in sufficient quantity for
a town five times the size Of Highmore, yet
the pressure is light. However the we'll
will be sunken farther into the sand rock
with the expectation of obtaining heavier
pressure and still greater fow. The town
has displayed most u6 mirsbls courage in
sticking to the well project and ws rejoice
with them over their abundant reward.

SIGNS THAT NEVER FAIL

Yankton Press and Dakotaian:--we can
say with full confidence in the prediction
that the farms Of Dakota will this year
givo their maximum yield Of crops OF all
kinds. 1t comes as tradition from the
former Indian occupants Of this land, and
has been demonstrated in the experience
Ct white settlers from the opening of
civilization here, that q winter with
snow is followed by q summer Of sbund-
ant rains. Evaporation from the noun
tain regions supplies the foot hills and
the plains with moisture. The present
winter has filled the mountain reservoirs
with material for profuss evaporation.
This supply is not exhausted by the first
touch OF summer /, but is held up in store
to be drawn upon in response to the do
mands Of the producing sections. The
lower levels give Us the spring floods,
saturating soil and atmosphere with moist
ure fer the seed time. Higher attitudes
yield later in the season to the influences
of solsr heat and produce what is known
In the Missouri river parlance % the June
rise, which lasts into July in good grow
ing seasons. After this tho sun climbs
the mountain sides, slowly releasing the
moisture there congealed, Transforming it
intSvapor and sending it of over plain
country to descend again upon the matur-
ing crops and effect the fullest deyelop-
ment. So il happens that when the
mountaines are covered from base TO
apex with the wintry deposit and the
foothills and plains lie buried in snow
tHhs conditions far a growing summer are
al ffIlSIed and farmers may plant with
fuil oonfidsnoe in an abundant harvest.

proposition TO make one or two states of
itself anyhow. There is, indeed, an
element which favors this scheme, and it
has respectable newspaper advocates, but
it is apparant that this element is in the
decided minority, and does not represent
dominant judgment Of the people of OAK
ota. The session Of the territorial legis-
lature is now fur spent, but no such bill,
as that contemplated in the plan has yet
been introduced in the legislature, 1t
may be considered as practically certain
that no such bill, If inh oduced. could be
passed. This is 30 because, as before stat
ed, the prevailing sentiment OF the people
of Dakota is against it.
